Amazon founder Jeff Bezos responded to a profanity-laced email from a customer who criticized the company's support for the Black Lives Matter movement and said he would take his business elsewhere.
His reaction? Good riddance.
"This sort of hate shouldn't be allowed to hide in the shadows," Bezos wrote Sunday on Instagram with a screenshot of the email from someone named Dave. "It's important to make it visible. This is just one example of the problem. And, Dave, you're the kind of customer I'm happy to lose."

No doubt Amazon received numerous letters that politely objected to the BLM pandering, but of course those don’t make the news.
The boycott-proof mega corps have no problem embracing Marxism while pissing on traditions & conservatives. But if there’s any chance of removing their destructive grip, it will involve prying news/media from the telecom/isp providers such as ATT & Comcast.

that they dont care about losing right-wing customers.
That's because they don't lose our business. We keep using their services even though they treat us like trash. Unfortunately, we don't seem to be able to work together the way liberals always do. And we keep electing people that turn and run at the first sign of a fight. Trump is the only one fighting, the rest of us just sit here and take it. He can't do it all by himself.

My answer stands about that type of email sent to me.
I know all about Bezos and Amazon, that’s why I look elsewhere when I shop online.
To: amorphous
I never did like Bezos. He is probably like other liberals in that he is severely misinformed and in love with his own intellect. Or he could just be evil.

I wonder how much energy those solar panels generate as a percentage of power consumed by that distribution center.

And how do your legions of independent sellers who are trying to make a living feel about you driving off their customers? It’s easy to be high-minded when you have millions sitting in the bank.

I’d rather see ATT & Comcast lose control of their news properties. Federally licensed telecom/isp providers must not also control the news. DOJ can start this process.
CNN is ATT
NBC, MSNBC are Comcast
